Dupa ce s-au invartit mai multe zvonuri in jurul datei la care va fi gata Windows 7 RTM (ready to manufacturing), aceasta a fost anuntata oficial ca fiind 13 iulie 2009Apvidū

Windows 7 RTM build will be chosen over the next few days and will be officially signed off on July 13th, 2009, the same day as the WPC09 (Worldwide Partner Conference) will take place in New Orleans.

Microsoft is still in the process of testing and choosing from the RTM candidate builds as they need to ensure that all show-stopper bugs present in the OS have been eradicated to ensure as much of a smooth, bug-free release as possible.

 

TechNet, MSDN si alti parteneri Microsoft vor primi RTM-ul cu aproximativ doua luni inainte de data lansarii oficiale, la fel si userii premium ai acestora.

RTM-ul este versiunea finala, adica versiunea pe care o vor primi pentru OEM si alti furnizori/fabricanti pentru a o testa si pentru a putea rezolva eventualele programmatūras kļūdas care ar putea aparea in compatibilitatea cu anumite aparatūras komponents bet DATORS. Abia dupa aceste mici retusuri va deveni Windows 7 GA (vispārēja pieejamība), cea care va fi lansata pe data de 22 octombrie 2009Apvidū
